This is a project page for ideas, notes and research related to a project in conjunction with Load of Fun to create a Low Res display for the roof of the building.
The idea is to do something along the lines of Blinkenlights or GRL Drive-In GIF Theater.
Some initial ideas:
- Create a standard screen (something like 4:3 or 16:9)
- Create a marquee style display which is longer and extends along the edge of the building.
- Create a cylindrical display. This seems the most unique. Also it has the advantage of being visible from all angles.
I did a mock up a couple of variations of the cylindrical display. The dimensions are 16 x 72 pixels and 24 x 72 pixels. You can view the video at vimeo. Both of these display could be done for around $3500 if we kept the cost per pixel under $3 and $2 respectively. This of course does not include cost of any structural parts and a computer and other electronics.
Any thoughts?
